End Credits #356 - September 11, 2024 (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice)

This week on End Credits, we're haunted! It's about a month early but we've got a tale of ghosts and goblins as we once again re-unite with old movie friends who are back after a long absence. So yes, we're reviewing Beetlejuice Beetlejuice this week and speaking of old friends, we will talk about the varied and intricate career of that film's very talented leading ghoul. This Wednesday, September 11, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Keaton Alive! The star of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is Michael Keaton, a man who's had an impressive 50 year career in Hollywood that has had some very big highs and some very low lows. Keaton has played manic, and he has played serious. He's played a superhero, a supervillain, and an actor who's haunted by his superhero persona. He's also played a newspaper man a couple of times, so to start this week's show, we'll talk about the reel Michael Keaton! REVIEW: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024). It's been nearly 40 years since "The Ghost With the Most" propelled Tim Burton to being one of the most bankable filmmakers in Hollywood. It took a while but Beetlejuice is back in a sequel so nice they named it twice. When the Deetz family returns to their old home in Winter River, it opens up some old wounds including the ones caused by a certain ghoul in black and white stripes. Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O'Hara are joined by Jenna Ortega and a host of new actors, but is the most they can do? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
